Good afternoon, Just thought i would give you a final update on the project as follows:- We have now completed all of the topsoil installation and the reinstatement of the paving to the bus stop on Middle Engine Lane. All traffic management that we have had on site will be removed today, follow on works will be the installation of the bus shelter by the bus company in the near future and seeding works to the verges next week. Naturally the planting works to the flower beds will be done later in the year due to them being a seasonal species. Hope you have a great weekend and enjoy the glorious weather. Regards Kevin McGargle - Site Manager

Good morning, Just thought i would give everyone a general update on the project for this week and next. As you may have noticed the fencing to the old site compound on Addington Drive has now been removed with landscaping works due to start next week. The area around to Middle Engine Lane has had the topsoiling works carried out ths week and despite the bad weather it has progressed well and shouldnt be far away from being completed today with some minor works to follow next week. We intend next week to start removing all the boundary fence from the remaining area and carry out the landscaping to this part of the scheme on Middle Engine Lane although we will need to return later in the year to do the planting works. Have a great Bank Holiday Weekend. Best Regards Kevin McGargle - Site Manager

Good Aftenoon Eveyone For the past few days you will have noticed we have been reinstating the area around Bewick Park and Addington Drive, relaying kerbs, replacing areas with top soil for the grass to grow and generally trying to get everything back to normal. The finish line to our work is clealy in sight, "thank goodness I hear you all say". We have always been conerned about the disruption to both residents and motorists during the project so with that in mind we, at MMB would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support we really appreciate your patience during the project. In a few weeks the landscaping will be back to its former glory and I am sure it will look as though we were never there. We will be back in a few weeks to check everything is going well and to ensure the underground pipework is working as it should so we will see you sooner than you think! Thank you all again MMB TEAM

Good Morning, Just to let you know we have decided to open the pedestrian walkway along Addington Drive and it will remain open until the end of the scheme. The reason being is our site guys are understandably concerned about your health & safety whilst using the paths along the Drive, however, their concern has been compounded by the presence of the alternative contractor near our site. We have cleared and cleaned the pathway and changed the signs accordingly to minimise the risk, we do hope that eases the situation for you.
